The device maps the whole house more-or-less accurately, however, there are some errors in which it creates sections that are not there.

Splitting/merging rooms works ok but there seems to be no way to highlight and remove sections that don't exist.

Additionally, there doesn't seem to be a way to add a room that was not included in the original mapping (e.g., the door was closed for a reason at the time).

Is there a option to fine-tune the map to be more accurate, or is the only way to map the whole house again and hope there are fewer errors?

Robot vacuum mapping is based on radar scanning. It does not support manual modification.

 

If the map generated by the robot vacuum cleaner does not match the actual layout of the environment, it is recommended to check those areas for objects that can reflect/ignore radar scans, such as mirrors, or glass. Apply something at a similar height to the robot vacuum, like frosted window film, to the bottom of these objects. This not only improves the accuracy of the mapping but also helps prevent the robot vacuum from colliding with these objects during cleaning.

I have the same problem. The downstairs is more or less mapped accurately, except for a random part of the garden where the vacuum has never been. I'd like to sort that out before doing two more maps - one for upstairs and one for the garden office.
